Adjustable Camber arms...

FtoSam · Post by **FtoSam** » Mon Aug 04, 2008 6:41 pm

Need some urgently for the rear of the FTO...

Anybody got any suggestions?? Whiteline perhaps???

If so are they the same as any model of lancer??

any help would be great as im getting around 4 degrees of camber and shredding tyres very quickly..

No such thing. Grab yourself a set of adjustable top mounts for the rear shocks to correct that. Tein, Cusco, D2, G4, Kmac all make 'em.

Corect me if i'm wrong but i think you adjust the rear camber by an eccentric lower bolt.
And the G4's don't have adjustable tops. Well not mine.

might just have to bite the bullet and go coil-over...

This is very true, but I dunno if you'd get 4 degree's adjustment out of it..

And you dont have to have coilovers to have the strut tops. I was running the Tein tops on KYB gas shocks & Apex springs previously.

Here's some good ones from Kmac if you cant get it dialed out with the lower bolt:

I have a set of the front k-macs if you want it.

Bought it about 2 years ago but never put them in.

need rears...

I need to go coilover anyway, so might as well just do that...

While im at it, im looking at doing some more suspension upgrades (After I had a Civic up my arse for a whole mountain run!!)...

So im looking at:
- Front and rear coilovers with pillowtops.
- Front Control Arm Bushes - SPF1100K & SPF1500K
- Front and Rear Sway Bars BMF44Z & BMR74
- Front Droplinks (Yet to find Part number)
- Lsd

Could you check those part numbers will fit a GPX Ben?

Also is there any other parts you would recommend i upgrade at the same time?

Thanks

Quick question...

Looking at a set of coilovers, and is there much difference between D2 and G4s?

Can get the D2's on Ebay for $995 + 20 P+H. havent got a price on G4s yet...

From what i've heard they're almost the same...

opinions?

Pretty sure that topic's been covered before on here. I've been looking into both and as far as performance they're basically the same. Same build quality as well i.e. product of england, assembled in taiwan. Only other difference is the warranty, (d2 a yr, g4 2years). G4's go for $1400 from justjap and yeh the ebay seller in nz is the cheapest I've seen for d2's. A friend use to have a set of d2's on a turboed civic and he rated them pretty highly. Hope that helps

With the eccentric cams stock you should be able to get from 0 to 4 deg neg camber sam

checked up on mine using alignment machine at work other day had it just over 4 deg from memory and of course back to zero however you can always modify washers for more flexibility
no point spending big money unless you have too

Ok, for bushes you need:

- Front control arm, front bushes (SPF1160)

- Front control arm rear bushes (anti-lift kit) (SPF1502AK)

For swaybars, BMF44Z is correct for the front & BMR64Z for the rear. Its a bigger 22mm one & you may want to get the heavy duty adjustable link kit to go with it - KLC047 (saves you from buying rear droplinks.)

You know my opinion on the G4's. And yes the g4's come with pillow tops.
